[Rule16]

Anyone know what switch this is?

[SmallFry]

NEC? I think? Or bigfoot ALPS.

[nubbinator]

Looks like the NEC tactile clicky switches (pictured here), but at the same time, it looks like it doesn't have the nib that the NEC does.

[linziyi]

Just out of curiosity, does the lego ''cross'' fits the cherry MX stem (question mark, for some reason the tablet can't regconize the shift key+/ combo)

[Masterchief79]

Anybody has got an idea if this one could be a mechanical?

[CPTBadAss]

The bottom of most Lego pieces are round circles. No cross or x that would fit an MX stem. I don't think I have any like Technic pieces which might be MX compatible. I assume you don't have any either or else you would have tried it.

Going to take a wild guess and say it looks like a scissor switch board. But it also kinda looks like an Apple AEK which has Salmon Alps switches.

[Masterchief79]

It has an AT plug, I guess I will place a bid later and see what I get Any further suggestions, and thanks

[esoomenona]

Ask the seller to remove a key and take a picture.

[HongKongFui]

Ask the seller to remove a key and take a picture.

I always do that. Out of 10PMs at least 7 answer: I don't want to destroy anything...

[Masterchief79]

Yep, I have pretty much given it up. Doesn't matter, I have always been successful with my guesses, never had a rubberdome in the mail.^^ I guess I will give it a shot. And even if it's a rubberdome (which I don't believe, look at the height of those caps), it's a nice old one, with a non-standard layout, so it would still be a cool addition to my collection.

I think s/he meant the pieces with the crosses on the sides.  See this: https://www.thedailybrick.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/700x700/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/l/e/lego_technic__brick_1_x_2_with_axle_hole_32064darkred.png

I couldn't find any of those pieces quickly. I think linziyi wanted to try and put them on MX caps so that s/he could have Lego Ninja Turtles to go with the Ninja Turtle set i3oilermaker is running.

Ok so where is the thread with pictures showing the difference in the profile (height) of different keys and where is the one that shows what rows are called what on the keyboard when buying keys?

If it is in the OP I didn't ready it

Not sure if there is one for differences in heights but there is this link from WASD that shows rows. That being said, different companies call the rows different things.

Maybe this page from Signature Plastics is what you're looking for?

How big is realforces spacebar? Not sure what kind of measurements they use.

[CPTBadAss]

How big is realforces spacebar? Not sure what kind of measurements they use.

The jwaz said that the sizing should be 6x.

I gave away all my lego to my younger cousins when I moved to US :/

And yes I was talking about those technic piece, will try if I have a chance!

I think this is the one that comes to my mind, when referencing keycap profiles. "http://deskthority.net/wiki/Keyboard_profile"

Below the text box it says 'attachments and other options'. Click that, then browse to find what you want to attach and press post. If you want to add more than one press 'more attachments'.

[GON]

Oh... Thanks Photekq. ;')
Now I know how.

Hm. I actually never thought of this. Does anyone know if Imsto sells Tsangan kits?

I'm pretty sure imsto does not I guess I was wondering if there was another out there that would halfway match up or whatever 

[CPTBadAss]

I'm pretty sure imsto does not I guess I was wondering if there was another out there that would halfway match up or whatever 

I don't think so. Maybe Lysol/IvanIvan's current buy has some that would help you out? I don't think so though...and I never heard of anyone else that had thick PBT Tsangan.

hmm ok well I have yet to try thick pbt anything

so maybe I should just avoid it and I won't know what I'm missing

Well as you know, I have that tour coming up so you'll be able to try some. But now I'm curious. Is there a tsangan kit for thick pbt caps? Does anyone know?

Avoid Imsto Thick PBT? Impossibru!!

Edit - I'll actually be a little sad if you never try it

Edit 2 - You should get an additional keyboard

Nope. Everyone wants it, but there is none yet.

I know Signature Plastics sells blank pbt caps in different sizes. I'm not sure if they're thick and I don't know if they sell caps that are pbt and printed. And JD gave us our answer so maybe someone should run a IC/GB ^__^

The four in the upper right? There are TONS of R4 (E) Thick PBT caps that would work with them. Zelda hearts for example, but there are many others and Imsto has a lot of them.

SP has some blank DCS 1.5x row4 (bottom row) PBT caps in stock. The two white ones are WAN and WFJ. They also have some 7x DCS ABS spacebars in WFK, WFO, WCK, and WEA.

I just don't know about the color matching or looking really weird

I understand, but Imsto caps only come in blue, gray, and white (beige& white sets too). All the R4 caps mentioned above are one of those colors and most are white.

I was kidding when I said you needed to try it, but I do want you to know there are options out there.

and I do so very badly want to try it and I'm wanting to get black on gray and didn't think the white would look right....
